HBO just announced that Real Time with Bill Maher has been picked up for two more years…That’ll take the show to 12 cycles! It’s crazy that the show has been nominated for 27 emmys, and has zero wins! That has to be some sort of record, don’t you think?

Personally I love Real Time! I know there are a lot of Bill Maher haters out there, but I’m thoroughly amused by him…sure he gets under my skin, but the show is good and it’s smart.

It’s crazy to think how Real Time even started…he got kicked off network television for running his mouth, and now look at him…he can throw f-bombs whenever the f*ck he feels like it!

    The show is smart, I’ll give it that. Intelligence on TV can be more refreshing than a Glade Plug-In.

    Oh please. Bill Maher is one of the only intelligent voices we have left on TV. I’m glad he’s on still.

    I watch every week. He has lots of people I like to hear from on his show and his panel debates can be some of the best political TV around. I’m smart enough to form my own opinions. He just gives us a different look at things.

    I don’t find him funny or intelligent. Calling people you don’t like the foulest names you can think of doesn’t make you brilliant, just vile.

    Then you obviously don’t listen to his show in its entirety. He rarely calls people the foulest names you can think of, and frankly, what he talks about is usually unvarnished fact. I’m getting really tired of everyone jumping on the anti-Bill Maher bandwagon, since he has become the new whipping-boy for schoolmarms and hypocrites. He’s been on the air in some capacity for almost 15 years, yet all of the sudden there’s all this vitrol about how awful he is. He’s a Cornell graduate, he reads, and he is very familar with current events. He was also the first person to (very bravely) question the role of religion in the world. One is either intelligent or not; one doesn’t “find” someone intelligent. Funny? Now that can be debated.

    I also enjoy his show and his panel debates. It’s definitely not for everyone. However he was clearly not the FIRST person to question the role of religion in the world. People have been doing that since time began.

    Calling people vile, filthy names? I don’t think so. The man has witty, snarky remarks, much like what is thrown around here and that doesn’t seem to bother any of you at all…. hmmmmmm

    Awfuleyebrow–Yes, true. You’re correct. What I meant was the first modern entertainer to criticize religion on a large-scale capacity e.g., actually make a whole movie about it.
